Re: [General discussion of] PS3

Ubisoft have been working on a new game called 'Watchdogs' for over two years now.

The game looks insane!! Great graphics as well.



Kind of a mixture of GTA and the new Hitman game.

I watched another video from one of the developers and he talked about the fact that this game is basically at the limit of what current generation consoles are able to do.

I wonder how long before the PS4 is ready to rock?? 2 years??

All i want is a huge sandbox game with fluid in-game graphics at the same standard as current cutscene style graphics with no loading time. Is that too much to expect??

cheers

Re: [General discussion of] PS3

Fired up ME3 this weekend and really getting into it. I played ME2 on the PC and glad they've removed all the tedious resource mining from ME3.
Still plugging my way through Skyrim, Just got married .

Congrats!!

I am on my 3rd (and probably last) play-through now.

I am a hot Imperial chick and had a lesbian wedding with the slut from the Riverwood shop.

All i have left to get Platinum is to get the 'oblivian walker' trophy. Almost there!!.

All in all, i very much enjoyed the game and thank you guys for the recommendations.


==========

Just waiting for my pre-orders of Hitman, COD & AC to come, been waiting forever.

Thinking of also ordering Uncharted 3, 007 Legends, Port Royal 3 & Far Cry 3.


Anything else i should get?????

cheers

Looks awful..........imo only a few games do third person angle well (e.g AC).

Can i change the view to first person??

If yes, then i will order it and hopefully it will tide me over till my pre-orders come.

No, you can't.

Re: [General discussion of] PS3

I married Aela, the butch huntress from the Companions in Whiterun. I went Stormcloaks, but was stuck on the last bugged quest in Solitude for ages. It seemed to fix itself in the end.

Not sure how many hours I've played, but currently level 38 and playing a bit of a mish-mash character; double-handed-heavy armour-fire mage-thief sort of thing.

Still haven't decided, and going on vacation for two weeks. So mid september I'll finally visit that so-called College in Winterhold, then make my way over to Solitude to see what the Imperials have to offer.

for those who watched Arrested Development:

Re: [General discussion of] PS3

Finally managed to get the Platinum Trophy for Skyrim.

It was not easy and i dont even want to think about how many hours i put into this game.


Good:

- huge map
- lots of references (starwars etc...)
- first person & third person available
- creating a character (like tiger woods golf)
- killing dragons is awesome

Bad:

- the way you store items can get out of control, there is alot of back&forth to compare items. needs a much better 'bank' system to seperate items. e.g having archary, one handed, two handed seperate, and also a seperate section for quest items.

- many of the skills are pointless and also by the time you reach 100 to be able to unlock all the perks in a certain skill, you dont even need it. For example by the time i got to 100 on speech i already had so much gold i had no need to unlock the top perks.

- far too many gliches

- after a while can get a tad repetative, more diverse animals would be better just having bears, trolls, foxes, goats, deer, cats and rabbits is not enough.



==========================

Overall i did very much enjoy playing it, its very hard to put down, i always found myself doing one more cave and before i knew it i had played an extra 2 hours!!

I want the next one!!!!

I heard that they are doing a multiplayer something.....not quite sure how that would work.


If anyone wants help with skyrim just pm me or ask on this thread.

cheers
SC

They are developing an Elder Scrolls MMORPG, but all accounts it hasn't garnered much enthusiasm. Fans are concerned it willd etract from the gameplay mechanics and become yet another point and click WoW clone.
I sincerely hope not.

Re: [General discussion of] PS3

looking to buy a PS3 as a present / with 320GB & double controllers.
Media markt have an offer for 229.95 CHF including one controller, sounds reasonable in comparrison to the reccomended retail price. however does anyone know if i would be able to find it cheaper on the German side
(living in the Basel area) have been unable to locate a retail outlet or electronic store/ apart from marktkauf.. which i am unsure if they sell PS3

additionally when you buy the games in germany & switzerland, are the games available in English ? I had issues with pc software in the past only being in German versions.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated..

Hardware is cheaper in Switzerland. So 229.95 is an excellent price, especially if it's the 320gb version. Only the 160GB version comes that cheap online. You can get an extra controller and keep it under 300 CHF.

If you want the newest thing, in a few days' time the new slimmer 500 GB PS3 is coming out. It costs 349, but has a larger hard drive and two excellent games (GT5 and Uncharted 3): https://www.digitec.ch/Startseite.as...se&wert=250075

For games, the general rule is, most are multi-language, but many aren't. Skyrim, Modern Warfare, etc. come to mind. If you're ever unsure, check wog.ch and they usually say what the in-game languages are. If you want to be sure they're in English and get them cheaper, order from amazon.co.uk, base.com or play.com.

You can also check Digitec for English games, it's where I got MW3.

Thanks Russkov, do you know when the 500GB version is released.. need it before the 11oct, lastlz as a non gamer, will the added GB be worth it ?

Thanks also for the advise re the games, much appreciated.
